RipEX-HS is assembled with 2 standard RipEX units, each powered by its independent power supply. A controller takes care of automatic changeover in case of failure. Changeover conditions are widely configurable. Since both units are hot-stand-by and use identical MAC addresses, exceptional switch-over time of less than 2s is achieved.

There are 2 standard RipEX units with identical configurations inside of RipEX-HS. Both units are booted, however only one is active. The interfaces (COM1, COM2, Ethernet, Radio) of second unit are disconnected.

When the active unit HW alarm output changes to “On” (when a controlled value exceeds the respective threshold), the controller automatically switches all interfaces (COM1, COM2, ETH, ANT – if applicable) to the second unit and it takes over all functions. Since both units are using the same MAC addresses (MAC cloning), there is a minimal drop-out while switching, less than 2s.

Auto toggle – the same as Auto mode, in adition after set time controller automatically switches-over to RipEX „B“, even if “A” doesn’t have any alarm and uses “B” for set period in order to confirm, that RipEX „B“ is fully ready-to-operate

A – only RipEX “A” is active and controller will never switch to RipEX „B“

B – only RipEX “B” is active and controller will never switch to RipEX „A“
